However, Cathy insists that she is only creating a back-up plan in case her and Chris's incestuous secret is ever exposed and they face the possibility of losing the children. One night, Cathy places three beds in the house attic, which worries Chris about her behaving similarly to their mother. Bart reads Malcolm's fanatical entries and writings, referring to beautiful women as sinful and degrading, which begins to leave a deep impression on him. John Amos gives Bart a journal that belonged to his great-grandfather, Malcolm, and makes him promise never to reveal it to his family. The woman lavishes treats and gifts on Bart, including a pet python, and eventually tells him that she is in fact his grandmother, Corrine. Jory tells him that their maternal grandmother is in a mental hospital and that all of Chris's relatives are deceased. Bart is curious as to why he has no other relatives, both he and Jory being aware that Chris is merely their step-father.

Jory declines, but Bart agrees after she promises to give him anything he wishes for. She takes a picture of them for a keepsake, and asks them to visit her often. During this, she explains to them that she is rich but has no family except for her butler, John Amos. One day, a woman entirely dressed in black moves into the mansion next door and invites Bart and Jory over for tea and cookies. Bart feels lonely and outshone by his older brother whom his parents seemingly favour. Six years after the end of Petals on the Wind, Cathy and Chris are happily married and living in California with Cathy's sons, Jory and Bart.
